2024 usd 16 for a house noodle soup. Only difference from 2023 is one extra shrimp and one extra fish ball. Overpriced. Plus tips is 18usd out of door. I rather have something else.

Sam's is a staple in my rotation of restaurants because it always hits the spot. It's one of those restaurants I go to with my family but also by myself.As with any Chinese restaurant, you don't come here expecting great service but the food is always consistent and they're fast. My go-to is either Shrimp & Pork with thick egg noodles or filet mignon cubes with egg noodles or macaroni. Don't sleep on the filet mignon cubes at Sam's! Mix the egg noodles with the filet mignon cubes and the satay they have at the table and it's soooo good! Cash only. I would avoid ordering online, there is an up-charge. Call in to order or just order at the restaurant for to-go. They're very fast

The food is alright. Nothing special in terms of flavor. The price is actually expensive for the portion served. The service though is EXTREMELY BAD. The lady was complaining about my son when he only touched the spoon and chopsticks container. She spoke in Cantonese that the kids would make a mess and how annoying to bring kids to restaurants. So she put all the sauce containers and everything on the table away without asking us if we needed or no. She had this disturbing attitude towards us even though we didn't even make a mess or anything. When we paid with card, she agitatedly said "no card sorry" and as my husband walked out to get cash out, she stared at him and then she stared at us until my husband came back. Bad experience! Never coming back here ever again!

The menu is overwhelming but gracias a Yelp for helping narrow down some of the favorites here! We tried a couple flat noodle rice dishes here and for around $12 each- my goodness what a great value and taste for that price! Noodles and ingredients were fresh and the broth (which we asked for on the side) was subtle and not salty. The dishes paired well with the table-side hot chili peppers and fish paste. Sam's reminds me of the best of SGV- a well priced Vietnamese /Chinese noodle shop filled with locals with minimal ambience but friendly service. Recommend that you stop here if you're driving down Valley blvd!

The rice noodle soup here is a great comfort food. The food here is consistent. Their fried daikon flour cake isn't my favorite here, but I will be coming back for the rice noodle soup for sure.

CASH ONLY!! We both got the number one Teochew/Chiu Chow assorted meats and noodz with your choice of noodz. I got the round yellow noodles because I like them chewy. Fiancé got the wide rice noodz for the silky texture. Both of us got soup on the side. Left this place stuffed! Lots of classic Chinese/Vietnamese comfort foods on their menu. Looking forward to try the other items.

I was driving down Valley Blvd. on the way home and I was famished so I just decided to pull into this small plaza to see if there might be a place to grab a quick bite. I picked Sam's Noodles and I'm glad I did. I ordered the Assorted Meats, Shrimp and Egg Noodles soup. It was pretty good. Nice clean tasting broth with good flavor. Lots of meats. A couple of plump shrimp. But, a lot of noodles. Most places I've been to give me a good portion but Sam's gave me a giant portion. I love it!So these 3 things were the qualities that separate Sam's from many of the other Chinese/Viet noodle places I've been to:- Giant portion of noodles- They cleaned the table after the patron was finished, but they also moved the table and mopped the area around that same table----they win the "Cleanest Chinese Restaurant" award in my book- When I took my leftover portion of noodles and soup home the owner gave me a to-go container, but she also gave me another small container of extra soup broth to take home for free. Who does that? I'm very impressed!Big thumbs up for Sam's Noodle Station!

The menu is kinda overwhelming for any 1st time customer i.e., ME. Thanks to the wonderful server, Anh who was so efficient, hospitable and EFFECTIVE! She recommended me try the House noodle and offered me the flexibility to choose any noodles I like. I ended up having both the rice noodle and yellow noodle. I mentioned that I will not be able to finish all and will need a to-go box, Anh got everything ready for me at once. I had the original, tasty House noodle (dry) first and then added their signature "Sha-cha" sauce on the table. Anh was so amazing that she even gave me the extra broth to take home to try so I can have the same dish but with the noodle soup style. Food wise, the noodles are refreshing and delicious. Light flavored and feel free to add any sauces you like. I can't wait to try out other items on the menu soon! Ambiance - The restaurant is clean and sanitary. Service is fast and customized. Reasonable pricing with good quality of appetizing "Chao Shan" cuisine.

Yellow Noodle Soup was no good have a bad smell like been expire for days. The rice noodle was ok but the soup also smell bad and taste expire. Told the owner and he ignore me. Told him third time he was like so what it the chief fault. Also when I pay the lady over charge me. So be careful and look at the bill.

The portions are generous and the broth is mild and fresh. The house rice noodle is very good and comes with a good amount of protein. A menagerie of fish balls, shrimp, ground pork and slices of chicken. Make sure you try the mildly spicy orange sauce in the little containers on the table. If you get the leftovers to go the waitress might be nice enough to give you an extra bowl of broth to go like she offered me!

The laksa broth had a good spice level and was so good! There was a lot of chicken, a few pieces of shrimp, and some puff tofu on top. This bowl was so big that I saved half for lunch the next day, and it was still delicious! I would highly recommend it.

Strip mall parking is terrible, but the food is delicious. It is a homey style small noodle shop, where the kitchen staff take smoke breaks out front. I got the beef cubes with red macaroni and everything was cooked excellently, it's a bonus on how large the portions are here. You can make two meals out of it, if you aren't a hungry hippo like me. The beef was so tender and came in a generous mound. The macaroni was soft but also had good tomato flavor, you don't expect al dente when it comes to Chinese and pasta. The pan fried turnip cakes were on the greasy side but filling. Tea was weak and watered down, so I was okay with not being offered a refill. I felt service was sufficient as we happen to be the only patrons when we placed our order as I went during late lunchtime.
